the 2006 generation Honda split the model into two different platforms, one primarily for the home market and North America and the other designed for the European market using a simpler rear suspension from the Honda Fit and more aggressive styling. As of 2006, a total of 16.5 million Civics had been sold worldwide, with 7.3 million of them in the United States.[5] Although the North American and the home market model differ externally, they are mechanically identical. The European model is available as a three and five-door hatchback while the Japanese/North American model is available as either sedan or coupe. Both Si and Type-R trim levels continue although the Japanese and European Type-R while sharing the same size engine are mechanically different. In the US an improved version of the Si tuned by Honda tuner Mugen is offered featuring cosmetic alterations and changes to the suspension and exhaust system. The Acura version of the Civic not only received the design change, but also saw a new nameplate, changing from the Acura EL to the Acura CSX. In Japan starting March 2006, the Honda dealership sales channels called Honda Primo, Verno, and Clio were disbanded, and combined into one retail dealership called Honda Cars.

Hello umair bhai.
That's the sound of starter. You can leave it as it is. Nothing to be worried.

However if you want to get it fixed, Servicing the starter can cure that kirk/shush sound upon cold start.

HAVING CIVIC IS NOT A (CRIME) BUT NOT HAVING A CIVIC IS A ''SIN''......

I've been facing weird issue lately. Sometimes i try to start the car it doesn't start - it produces 'karkar' sound and the lights of tacho and speedometer flickers. This happens randomly. Than i try after like 2~3 minutes car starts normally..what could be the issue?Also, I can't seem to reproduce this issue. It just happens randomly.
Thanks!

Typically a sign of weak battery.
Either the battery is giving up OR there is a loose terminal

I want to confirm something from 8th gen owners. I have heard that Honda 8th gen models older than 2010+ comes with EPS instead of traditional power steering? Is that true?

I was planning on buying one and a friend of mine suggested to go for a 2010+ model because it has EPS and won't give much issues like I had with my 7th gen HPS

No, they had hydraulic and till 2008 they had a manufacturing defect of steering fluid pipe leakage which honda started replacing free of cost for all cars till 2008. And 2008 onwards the pipe issue was fixed but still had hydraulics. So no 8th Gen did not have EPS. 2012 9th Gen Civic came with EPS.
I don't think 8th Gen PKDM ever had eps.

Architecture is the art of how to waste space

So what you are saying is that I should get any model higher than 2009? Or can I still go for a 07,08 year model too?
